2010-09-06 Emese Turzo-Andras MKEH MKEH would like to compare different types of thermal guarding systems and to investigate the limitation of the HTGHP, to explore potential improvements to enable these instruments to operate in a temperature range from 70 to 800°C with relative measurement uncertainties below 5%. MKEH would like to contribute in formulating detailed design recommendations and assessing measurement uncertainty. MKEH would like to identify potential candidate reference materials and to participate in an intercomparison in order to qualify reference materials.
2010-06-23 Jiyu WU National Physical Laboratory NPL has comprehensive, world-class facilities for the measurement of the thermal performance of high temperature insulation and refractories; pipe insulation; and engineering materials including plastics, composites, ceramics, metals and alloys.
These measurements can be carried out from -170 °C to 800 °C on insulation materials and up to 500 °C for metals and alloys. Staff provide technical experts to a wide range of CEN, ISO, CIPM and BSI Working Groups producing measurement standards. Another important role is the provision of reference materials and transfer standards (to ISO Guide 34).
The list of Thermal Conductivity Measurement Facilities for insulation at NPL:
High-Temperature Guarded Hot-Plate: 140 °C to 800 °C;
High-Temperature Pipe Tester: 50 °C to 250 °C;
Low-Temperature Guarded Hot-Plate: -170 °C to 50 °C, up to 60 mm thick;
Vacuume Guarded Hot-Plate: -20 °C to 70 °C;
Guarded Hot-Plate: 5 °C to 40 °C, up to 250 mm thick;
Heat Flow Meter: 5 °C to 40 °C, up to 200 mm thick.
